Welcome to the Good Life

The wave of the future. Let it hit 'em!

This is for Moses Moreno.

And Steve Stenstrom.

And Craig Krenzel.

And Kordell Stewart.

And Henry Burris.

And Rick Mirer.

And Chris Chandler.

And Dave Kreig.

And motherfucking Peter Tom Willis.

No that is not a list of sex offenders in my neighborhood via Megan’s Law’s website.  Those gentlemen have not only played quarterback in the NFL, but they’ve managed to do it at some point for my beloved Chicago Bears.  And the results have been…what’s a creative way to say “vomit inducing”? 

Two weeks ago, I said to my dad “Why the hell don’t the Bears kick the tires on Jay Cutler?  The guy’s favorite team growing up was the Bears, he grew up in Indiana and went to school out there, and our last two starters both did nitrus at frat parties WHILE PLAYING IN THE NFL!!!”

Can the Bears EVER land a franchise quarterback  in my lifetime? 

“YES WE CAN!”

The only crisis we face is losing to the Packers with this new QB

"The only crisis we face is losing to the Packers with this new QB"

Hearing the news in my car yesterday that the Bears landed Jay Cutler, the 25 year old Pro Bowler formerly of the Denver Broncos, was like someone telling you you hit the loterry–and you never even bought a ticket.  Hell, you didn’t even have $8 to your name.  And you were stocking shelves overnight with Byron Crawford at K-Mart and hating good rap. 

Unless you’re a fan living in Boston or Dallas or New York, the chances that your squad, in any sport, will go out and get the premiere player on the market are slimmer than a mosquito’s dick. 

Historically with the Bears, the chances are actually slimmer than a Sea Monkey’s dick.

Before landing Jay Cutler yesterday, the biggest splash that brought flashing lights to the Monsters of the Midway the past decade or so was….Bryan Cox.  Outside of flipping the bird to some fans, spitting on people, and wearing a washboard behind his helmet, Bryan Cox the linebacker wasn’t even as good as geezer thespian Bryan Cox playing Lt. Stryker in X-Men 2.

This was like the Yankees scooping CC Sabathia, Flava Flav netting VH1, and The Wonders landing Wolfman to play bass all in one transaction.

In minor awesome Bears news, the boys in blue also grabbed future Hall of Famer Orlando Pace to play tackle.  I can’t picture a scenario where they don’t win 10 games next year, even if Marty Booker, the Black Hole of Foot Speed at wide receiver, manages to make the roster again. 

All I can say is, in my Super Fans voice, “Go Bears!!!  And Todd–don’t choke on your bratwurst, buddy.  You gotta chew ‘dose ‘tings.  You can’t just swallow ‘em whole!”

The sweet taste of victory.  And asphexiation

  1. Okay….far be it from me to shit on your parade, but don’t you have just the slightest apprehension about this guy? Granted, reading through that list of losers at the top is enough to make me hurl and cry at the same time, but don’t put all your hopes into Mr. Cutler…..the bitching, the moaning, the all night drinking in Denver’s dive bars, the diabetes, the lack of Shanahan to pull on his strings….this is not a perfect marriage, by any means. Cutler is a work in progress with a much better arm than Orton or Grossman….but he’s still 17-20 as a starter and still never made the playoffs…..all I’m saying is be optimistic, for sure….just make sure it’s cautious optimism….and if they find him across from Wrigley, shitfaced and penniless, don’t blame yourself….Philly fans fell for T.O.’s bullshite, too…..One.

  2. D:

    You Eagles fans bitch and moan about McNabb for 10 years, but I’ll take him on one leg with his whiny ass parents in the huddle over the abortions the Bears have started at QB (save for Orton and Erik Kramer) the past 20 years lol.

    You raise valid points to be cautious, for sure. However, Denver’s defense was abhorrent last year. They’d score 35 points…and give up 42. His rookie year they missed the playoffs almost intentionally by benching Jake Plummer in order to give the kid some snaps midseason. I don’t know how much more confidence a coach can give a rookie QB than that.

    If Kyle Orton can go 21-12 as a Bears starter with that defense and special teams in place, Cutler at the minimum will get 10 wins a season barring any freak injuries.

    RE: Cutler being a party guy. Grossman and Orton were caught multiple times at frat parties, the Playboy mansion, and in the Chi being wild and crazy guys. But because Cutler’s team missed the playoffs, he’s less “gritty” and “mature”? Grossman was caught partying the night before the Super Bowl!!!
